My wife called me and said I got a letter from the FAA. I finely got my medical certificate. It's a one year but that's fine. Now I can build my plane and not have that thought in the back of my head that I my not even get to fly it. For right now I can go rent a $125.00 an hour 172. : (

Hi KRNetters, For starters, I gain 80 to 100lbs by my engine choice alone. Next, I'll have only the most basic instruments. My wider canopy will weigh nearly the same as most as I'm going to use thin Mylar for windows with a centre post down the middle front. VG's are known to reduce stall spee

GP minimum recommended octane is 92 for the 2180 VW. Does not matter which, autogas or 100LL, as long as you use 92 octane or higher. Then there is the lead deposit issue with 100LL and the Ethanol issue with the autogas. Sid Wood Tri-gear KR-2 N6242 Mechanicsville, MD, USA > Doran, > I don't

You will get 100 different answers if you ask 100 people here. Best to call GPAS and ask Steve and he can tell you for each engine size what he would recommend for whatever minimum octane you plan to use.

Doran, I don't think you'll find an absolute answer to that. But if you want to run autogas from the pump, you need to have a lower compression ratio somewhere around 7.5:1. Higher compression ratios are fine, but you need to run 100LL. I believe 8:1 is normal for a GP engine. Rob Schmitt Re
